    So only 5% should pay the 98% of taxes in this country and you believe you can have the government you want and a growing economy and those 5% to pay all the taxes while the rest get off scot free?

    That would be fair? Just amazing.

    No, that is just another bald fabrication on your part. You simply made it up. You asked specifically about how I thought the FEDERAL INCOME tax burden should be shared, not "taxes," and I answered you. You have now, as usual, falsely and disingenuously claimed that I said something completely different from what I did say.

    It's always the same.

    And it is a disgrace.
    No. "All the taxes" is a bald falsehood on your part, and you are aware of that fact. You asked SPECIFICALLY how I would distribute the FEDERAL INCOME TAX burden, the only tax whose current rates and distribution of burden you posted, not "all the taxes." You are aware of that fact, as I have brought it to your attention multiple times. You just ignore it and make the same false claims over and over again no matter how many times you see them proved false.

    Do you really imagine that anyone finds such disingenuous and despicable filth persuasive?
    You are aware that I said no such thing. I don't know exactly how much revenue the rates I proposed would raise; but as a ballpark estimate, it would be similar to the current amount of federal income tax revenue, assuming no change in the amounts and distribution of income reported.
    No, I stated that I did not claim it was fair. It's just the fairest way I can think of to distribute the burden of that specific inherently unfair tax. Your claim that there are no other taxes is just another bald falsehood from you, in a long litany of such.
